Bangladesh Imamia Ulama Society on Tuesday brought out a protest procession in front of Jatiya Press Club protesting the recent US and Israeli attacks on Iran.
Bangladesh Imamia Ulama Society also formed a human chain in front of the Jatiya Press Club.
Speakers at the rally alleged that the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in what they described as a ‘barbaric attack’ constitutes a clear violation of international law.

They said the strikes by the United States and Israel, carried out in violation of Iran’s sovereignty and the authority of its people, pose a serious threat to global peace and stability.
The ongoing spread of conflict across the Middle East could lead to devastating consequences, they said.
The speakers also criticised the timing of the attacks during the holy month of Ramadan, alleging that the actions once again exposed what they termed the ‘terrorist nature’ of Israel and the United States.
They described the strikes as a direct violation of international law, the UN Charter and the fundamental principles of sovereignty of independent states.
The protesters urged the United Nations and other international forums to play an active role in safeguarding Iran’s sovereignty and to take immediate steps to stop the war.
Later, a procession was brought out from the Jatiya Press Club which ended at Paltan.
